Meal Consultant
Call for Applications – MEAL CONSULTANT Do you have experience in MEAL? Are passionate about taking an organisation to the next level? Are you able to interact and coordinate with donors and strategic partners? Are you keen on making a difference and supporting an international organisation that works closely with Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) around the world to protect their right to defend human rights? If yes, this MEAL CONSULTANCY might be for you! Please feel free to apply or forward this call to someone you know who may fit the profile. We’ll be pleased to hear from you and explore your fit in the organisation! About PI Protection International (PI)’s mission is to support human rights defenders (HRDs) and their collectives through preventive and comprehensive collective protection approaches. PI aims to foster resilience among HRDs, mitigate risks they face, and ensure their safety by holding duty bearers accountable and garnering support from key stakeholders. The organisation’s vision is a world where fundamental human rights and freedoms are universally respected, and everyone can defend these rights without fear of threats or attacks. PI’s history includes a significant decentralisation process that began in 2019, evolving from a centralised head office model to a network of Regional Hubs and Country Offices. This shift was aimed at creating more grounded and context-oriented decision-making, aligning with their grassroots approach to support HRDs effectively. Our geographical reach is global, with a focus on Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Rationale PI aims to cultivate a culture of knowledge and learning within the organisation with the ability to capture our impacts on the ground and assess our progress towards our 5-year Global Strategy Framework and our Theory of Change. Currently, PI has had various ways in informally and formally identifying key performance indicators in order to measure our successes and to hold ourselves accountable internally, with our HRD partners, and to our supporters and donors. We are now moving towards embedding Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (MEAL) culture in PI by formalising processes and tools in order to have a more systematic and organised way of programming, capturing impacts, and learning, while continuing to demonstrate accountability. General Objective The MEAL Consultant shall be an expert responsible for the development and design of PI’s MEAL Framework based on the Global Strategy Framework 2024-2028 and initially established key performance indicators (KPIs).

The MEAL Consultant will provide senior level guidance and expertise to ensure that quality benchmarks are adopted for programme implementation. S/he will also design a tailor-made documentation strategy for impact stories, reports, and best practices shared between offices, partners and with key stakeholders. S/he will set the basis for a culture of knowledge and learning, and will support efforts to elevate programme quality, performance and accountability, and in measuring our impact. The MEAL Consultant will coordinate and report to the Head of Policy, Research and Training Unit (PRTU). S/he will work closely and collaboratively with Heads of Offices (HoOs), the Global Management Team (GMT), the programme coordinators and officers across offices. While regional and country teams retain primary responsibility for defining, managing and using learning and evaluation results, the MEAL Consultant plays a key role in strengthening knowledge and systems — providing expertise, coaching, and leadership to help compile these results into an organisation-wide learning portfolio.
